lyrics

ARTICLE 29

a child defined as 18 or under
a system that makes a guaranteed blunder
a child leaves school full of awe and wonder
for what?
A debt? A mistake?
it hits home like thunder

15 years of going into a building
of education exams homework and friend making
in a life of sleep eat work and play
is there any time left in the day
to wonder -

why does life work this way?
What do I want from life?

You start a new course full of excitement and hope
or a brand new job earning money to cope
now you're three weeks in but all is not well
any doubts you have you're trying to quell
'opportunity' 'investment' -
surely it will help in future?

But four weeks later you start to fear
for where you are now you don't want to be near
you desired the job you saw on tv
or took a quick glance and thought
that one's for me

where do you go from here?
Can you afford a false start?

How about a gap year? You muse
surely that is something you'd use?
You take time out to explore the world
but that's exactly it – the world
even then you don't explore
what's on your own doorstep

they say education will solve
humanities problems

access to the best education is
limited to the inexperienced and unworldly child
surely 25 is a better view point to decide
your future -
more experience less wasteful mature yet still young

don't educate tomorrow's future
educate today and create a better now
